Sirach 9:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Forsake not an old friend, for the new will not be like to him.

¹⁵ A new friend is as new wine: it shall grow old, and thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

¹⁶ Envy not the glory and riches of a sinner: for thou knowest not what his ruin shall be.
